It is not the same thing but kind of reminds of my naive and obvious(meaning something that came up when drinking beer) idea of generating bunch of variations of your labeled data in cases when you do not have enough. Let's say you onl

What's wrong is we are trying to fit a round peg(general desktop apps) into a square hole(flowable document delivery model as envisioned originally by Berners-Lee). It is easier to make UIs with Winforms, Qt, WPF, heck even with Action

Big fan of OBS! I've been using OBS to stream to Youtube and record locally at the same time. It's been over 400 videos now ever since Google Hangouts killed Youtube integration last August. Why did Google kill integration between

Are there any major cloud hosting/computing providers which do provide a hard spend limit? We've heard the horror stories from the Google data egress pricing "surprises" (like that GPT adventure game guy incurred a few m

Nice to see an alternative or rather a complementary library to the well worn nltk. Hopefully Stanza provides for supplemental training for their models.

Interestingly the more common view is that Vue feels less vanilla Javascripty than React. When I am writing React I am writing Javascript (usually a bit obscured with JSX). With Vue a large part of functionality is in v-directives. That doe

I was a tiny tiny competitor to eBay some 20 years ago and the pez story was pure BS. The reality is that eBay (that is AuctionWeb) got its initial traction from spamming Usenet as the story correctly states. Very quickly they moved from sp

Where do the custom HTML tags (sea,beach etc) come from? I do not see any preprocessor in codepen.io settings. I thought that in order to use something like https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/custom-elements.html y

How does something like Netlify CMS work for an end user? I mean how do you skip the "storing some sort of state in DB including a users table" step? It is very typical for a small to medium business site client to want a minimal

Such a brilliantly insane plan: Pretend to have a "Dog Day Afternoon" type of scenario when you really have a "Red Haired League" underneath. So so many things that could go wrong and some actually did. Also reminds a bi

There are many of them in Europe and the smaller ones change names quickly. Turn off adblock and go to finance and forex oriented sites. You will see many ads for them at least in Europe. A common marketing strategy for them is to offer hea

Some of them do not render correctly on Chrome Version 80.0.3987.122 for Win10 either. Same type of scary ovals. Still a fantastic job! Reminds me of another exercise in CSS: https://diana-adrianne.com/purecss-francine/

How were they able to read eBay's SMSs sent to your phone number? A number of online services I use send SMSs as a form of 2FA. Apparently this is not entirely safe.

A small nitpick: the blurry background when hovering on Create really felt off. I felt like my vision had just suddenly worsened and felt an urge to click away to a different card.

That is good advice. Only problem is that we do not have Bill Murray's 10,000 years to endlessly master everything in Punxsutawney. We have to pick our fights carefully.

Shopify being valued at $56 billion is insane. That is about 40 times their SALES in a mature market. With others at least you can imagine some paradigm shift, same as with Tesla.

CSS is horrible for quick mockup iteration. While Grid(I love named areas!) and Flexbox have improved layout, the initial layout process is still rougher than it should be. Pretty much every other design/layout/ui creation tool ha

AutoHotkey is an ugly language to write in, but oh boy is it useful for gluing disparate Windows actions together. Theoretically you can do the same thing that AHK does in a .net language or even Powershell but AHK is just easier to whip up

The 3950X are heavily supply limited. I do not think Baltics got a single 3950x allocated in the November. Theoretically some will be available on 19.12. Where does one even look for 3950x in Europe? Scan.co.uk says December 31st at the ear

Those are real use cases. However the adoption is severely lacking. The problem is that it has gotten worse not better. There has not been a good use case for a Joe NormalCitizen for crypto in a while. Anecdata: I first mined BTC in 2011 an

I seem to remember that Google Cloud Print was the only way you were supposed to print on early Chromebooks. At least the current Chromebooks let you print on a networked printer.

Anecdotally one gets better quality reviews using `foobar review site:reddit.com` than any other method. You can weed out the fake reviews on reddit better than say on amazon because of other users. Just use some common sense and if you see
